Qatar Airways has opened its November round of Privilege Deals, which cut the Avios price of selected award flights. You must book by Nov. 14, 2026, and fly by Dec. 31, 2026. The deals cover 17 featured cities across economy, business and first class. Because the deals work on an origin-and-destination basis, a trip that starts or ends in a featured city can be discounted to anywhere on the Qatar Airways network.

The rules below come from Qatar Airways' Privilege Deals page, which we checked on Nov. 9, 2026.

The deadlines are short: book by Nov. 14 and complete travel by Dec. 31, 2026.

How the discount works#

Qatar Airways describes Privilege Deals as standard award flights offered at a reduced Avios rate on selected flights, routes and dates. The airline's page does not state a single discount figure. Head for Points reports that the discount is usually 25%, and posts on X about this round also describe it as 25% off.

The key rule is the origin-and-destination basis. Qatar Airways says members can redeem eligible award flights between any Qatar Airways destination and a featured city, in either direction. So a business class trip from Tbilisi or Bucharest can be discounted all the way to a city that is not on the list.

Head for Points gave one example it found: a one-way business class flight from Tbilisi to Zanzibar for 45,000 Avios, with £206 in taxes and charges. It also said it struggled to find discounted seats this month because of the busy run-up to Christmas.

The rules that matter#

Qatar Airways' terms set out several limits:

  • Qatar Airways flights only. Only flights marketed and operated by Qatar Airways qualify. Flights on oneworld or other partner airlines do not.
  • Book on Qatar's site or app. You must be logged in to a Privilege Club account on qatarairways.com or the Qatar Airways app. Head for Points notes that British Airways charges the normal price, so link your accounts and move Avios to Qatar first.
  • No Flexi Awards. The higher-priced Flexi Award seats are not discounted.
  • Mixed bookings. Only flights tagged as Privilege Deals get the lower price. Other award flights in the same booking price at the standard rate.
  • Avios plus Cash is allowed if your balance falls short.
  • No earning. You do not earn Avios on Privilege Deals flights.
  • Changes reprice. If you change to a flight or date that is not a Privilege Deal, Qatar charges the standard Avios level, plus any fees. To change a deal flight, you must cancel and rebook online.
  • No stacking. The deals cannot be combined with other Avios offers.

All Privilege Club and Student Club main members can book. Each booking can include up to nine passengers, and there is no limit on the number of bookings.

Getting Avios into Qatar Privilege Club#

Qatar Privilege Club uses Avios, the same currency as British Airways, Iberia, Aer Lingus and Finnair. Members can move Avios between linked Qatar and British Airways accounts. That matters right now because Chase is offering a 30% bonus on transfers to British Airways, Iberia and Aer Lingus through Dec. 1. Points Frog covered that Chase Avios transfer bonus earlier this month. Check that the seat you want shows as a Privilege Deal before you move any points, since transfers cannot be undone.

When to expect the next round#

Qatar Airways says Privilege Deals are generally released on the 5th of each month, though it can change, delay or withdraw any offer. With the Nov. 14 booking deadline close, anyone eyeing a discounted holiday trip should search the Award Flight Finder now. Privilege Deals are tagged in award search results.
